WHAT IS A FLAME WAR????
« on: September 29, 2009, 08:05 PM »
A flame war is a heated argument between two individuals, that results in those involved posting personal attacks on each other during or instead of debating the topic at hand.

Most forums have rules that forbid flaming. This is because the quality of conversation on a forum can be seriously degraded by a flame war. Topics can be "hijacked" by two people who would rather flame each other than discuss the subject of the thread.

Some websites encourage flaming for the purpose of entertainment. One such website is www.flamewarforum.com.

Sigh..... ::)  gosh I wish I had that much free time to insult others for fun!   But then I would get paid for it, as I would be a satirical comic...probably on Saturday Night Live, even!   :kick

Do you fan the flames, try to douse them, flee from the heat, watch as the house burns, or use the
cell-phone camera to privately send it to others?
